[xubuntu-users] Restoring a saved panel layout from a script
The xfce4 Panel settings applet allows saving and restoring a user's panels' layouts to a file. Given a file saved this way, is there some way to restore it from a command line terminal window? (I want to clone a panel layout to multiple users using a script.)

Thanks, but are you saying that a gtk+3 theme should have steppers enabled? I tried the "greybird" theme (seems to be gtk+3 from what I can tell) but no steppers. And with Murrine on F23 I *did* have steppers in xfce4-terminal. There seems to be on the order of ~100 theme packages available (that's excluding -icon- themes) so downloading and trying randomly does not seem to be a practical approach. The only other info I can think to add is that I notice that on Fedora I was using xfce4-terminal-0.6.3; on Ubuntu it is xfce4- terminal-0.8.6. Is it possible that xfce4-terminal ignores the theme and presence/absence of the steppers hardwired (and they are off in -0.8.6)? In which case I should be looking for a replacement rather than a way to make them work? Additional suggestions or clarification gratefully welcomed...this problem is seriously hampering my use of Ubuntu. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

"doesn't provide" -> "does provide", yes? Just a few and they seem unrelated to networking: firefox-locale-en, hyphen-en-us, language-pack-en, language-pack-en-base, language-pack-gnome-en, language-pack-gnome-en-base, mythes-en-us, thermald, thunderbird-locale-en, thunderbird-locale-en-us, wbritish > Even if not, keep in mind that the network for > the Ubuntu server image already needed to work, before any X > related, let alone Xubuntu related packages were installed, while the > install from the Xubuntu image might (or might not) establish a > connection with the Xubuntu tools, but perhaps at least by a > graphically environment.

It seems so. ;-) So I guess my question becomes how to adjust things after the install so that things work like they would have had I done a straight Xubuntu-desktop release install. It's not a matter of huge importance to me -- my machine has a single permanent wired connection so having an applet that allows for per- user control of the network is kind of moot. But it was convenient in the past (on other machines) for temporarily enabling and disabling the network. And I'd like to understand the cause of the difference in case it is symptomatic of other problems that may show up later. > I already wonder about the path /etc/networks/interfaces . > Perhaps just a typo.

[xubuntu-users] Difference: Xubuntu install vs xubuntu package
Hello, I have installed two machines that I think should be substantially the same. One was created be installing Ubuntu-17.04-server and adding the xubuntu-desktop package. The other was created by installing the Xubuntu-17.04-desktop release. There is one small difference between them (I've noticed so far) that I would like to fix. In the Xubuntu-17.04-desktop install, the applet run by Settings -> Network Connections lists my ethernet connection as expected. In the Ubuntu-server+xubuntu install, Network Connections is empty (and the little network thingie in the Indicators area says "Ethernet device not managed".) However there is a working network connection, it just seems as if Network Manager (or whatever it is that Network Connections applet uses) doesn't know about it. My question is what could cause this difference and how do I get the Ubuntu+xubuntu network connections applet recognize the existing network connection, same as the Xubuntu-desktop system? I think this has something to do with NetworkManager and/or systemd, both of which I am woefully ignorant about. Some additional info -- apologies for volume of information :-(... I have compared the packages installed on both systems. The Ubuntu+xubuntu system has nearly all the packages that the Xubuntu-desktop system has, and the few that it is missing don't seem to be likely to be related to this problem.) When installing both machines, the networks were sussed out by the installer, I didnt give it any special instructions regarding the network. But the /etc/network/interfaces files were different on both machines. (ubtest is the Ubuntu+xubuntu machine who's network applet doesn't recognize the network, and xbtest is the Xubuntu-desktop machine that does): ubtest's /etc/networks/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto enp0s3 iface enp0s3 inet dhcp xbtest's /etc/networks/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback I also compared boot-time logs for both systems. I replaced ubtest's interfaces file (that explicitly mentions enp0s3) with the one from xbtest (that doesn't). The former resulted in a functional network (albeit with the network applet problem); the latter one doesn't (as seen in the excerpted log file messages below) but does show where the boot-time actions of each system diverge which I think is the significant thing. Messages up to the point shown below are substantially the same in both machines. But then as can be seen, the Xubuntu-desktop system (without the problem) does a bunch of stuff starting with "keyfile: add connection..." that the Ubuntu+xunbuntu system doesn't. Why? ubtest: Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest NetworkManager[728]: [1507181133.4098] manager: (lo): new Generic device (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0) Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest NetworkManager[728]: [1507181133.4413] manager: (enp0s3): new Ethernet device (/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1) Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest NetworkManager[728]: [1507181133.4534] manager: startup complete Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest NetworkManager[728]: [1507181133.4850] urfkill disappeared from the bus Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest NetworkManager[728]: [1507181133.4887] ModemManager available in the bus Oct 04 23:25:33 ubtest systemd[1]: Started Network Manager Wait Online.
